Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This extremely xeric type occurs on coarse, white sands in the Outer Coastal Plain of South Carolina in the "wiregrass gap." <i>Pinus palustris</i> forms an open canopy, with <i>Quercus laevis</i> dominating in the subcanopy/shrub layer, although <i>Quercus geminata</i> and <i>Quercus hemisphaerica</i> are also diagnostic. Common shrubs include <i>Gaylussacia dumosa, Vaccinium arboreum</i>, and <i>Vaccinium tenellum</i>. The herbaceous layer is sparse and species-poor and lacking <i>Aristida stricta</i>.
